Season one is pretty good. I will probably buy this show on DVD, which I don't do for any shows save for ATHF and Batman:TAS. What I really like about this show is that it doesn't take itself too, too seriously - they even made a gag about House stashing his drugs in the lupus section of his medical encyclopedia (because it's never lupus!). The writing is smart and House is one of the best characters on TV. Also, the characters are never stale. They always introduce an antagonist for House that spans a half season or so (this latest might be the whole season!) and the characters change in unique ways. House, currently, is way more of an addict than he ever was. He may have hit rock bottom now.
